White Supremacist Trying to Build Enclave in North Dakota Told His DNA's 14 Percent African During Live Television Show
Called it "statistical noise"
A self-proclaimed white supremacist underwent a DNA test to 'prove' his genetic heritage, only to be told on live television he was 86 per cent European - and 14 per cent of Sub-Saharan African heritage.
Sixty-two-year-old Craig Cobb claims he follows the 'Creator' religion which "favours racial awareness" and has been attempting to create a "white enclave" in North Dakota by quietly buying up land in the small town of Leith, despite anti-racism rallies and town meetings against his plans.

Maybe there's been research done since what I know about, but I thought genetic markers of race were dubious at best.
Race yes, origin not so much. Doesn't mean they are 100% accurate. My results came back last week and said I was 1% Irish...and my great grandfather was an Irish cop in Boston.
